ESPN released an article highlighting the top 50 players in college football heading into the 2017 season. Two Wolverines made the cut:
No. 48 Mo Hurst:
Experienced and explosive, Hurst will be a pillar of Michigan’s defensive front this season. He will team up with Rashan Gary (No. 38 on this list) to form one of the country’s best pass-rushing duos.
No. 38 Rashan Gary:
The country’s former No. 1 overall recruit is under a lot of pressure to quickly change from a backup rookie to the centerpiece of Michigan’s defense. Lucky for the Wolverines, sudden, speedy bursts are a strength for Gary.
